United secured the signature of his compatriot, Diogo Dalot, from Porto this week.

Wolves boasted Matt Doherty on the right hand side last season - the Irishman received many plaudits for keeping his place amid Nuno Espirito Santo’s overhaul of the starting XI and playing his part as the club charged to Premier League promotion.

All you need to know about Wolves now

Barca interest

Wolverhampton Wanderers' interest in Rui Patricio could be hijacked by Barcelona with the Spanish champions having reportedly set their sights on the Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper.

Patricio, 30, was the subject of a £15.75m bid from Wolves which was accepted by Sporting but the proposed move collapsed after disagreements between the selling club and Jorge Mendes' Gestifute agency.

It was even claimed that Patricio had undergone a medical and the 30-year-old was said to be happy to sign terms with the Molinuex club, before the transfer fell through, prompting a public spat between Gestifute and Sporting, with the agency denying the Portuguese club's claims of "blackmail" against them.

Patricio has filed to have his contract terminated and Wolves are understood to be weighing up a second approach - but Barcelona have entered the race to sign him according to Mundo Deportivo, the newspaper based in the city.

They say that Barca's second-choice goalkeeper, Jasper Cillessen, is attracting plenty of interest and could look to move having played only once in La Liga last season.

Patricio is said to be on the club's list of targets should Cillessen leave, to provide back-up for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Patricio is currently with the Portugal squad ahead of this summer's World Cup in Russia.

The stopper, who has been with Sporting for 12 years, has a fractious relationship with club president Bruno de Carvalho and is eager to depart.

More Wolves news

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been linked with a move for prolific Real Sociedad forward Willian Jose this summer.

Reports in Spain claim that Wolves are considering a move for Willian Jose, who scored 20 goals in 40 appearances for the Basque club last season, including strikes against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and four in one Europa League tie with Vardar Skopje.

The 26-year-old Brazilian, who has previously played for Zaragoza and Las Palmas, also featured at Real Madrid for a short while in 2014, making a single appearance for the senior side.

UOL suggest that Wanderers have even made contact with Willian Jose’s representatives to gauge how interested the striker would be about a move to the Premier League.

Wolves, who have sent back Leo Bonatini to Al Hilal after his loan spell ended, are also now entertaining serious interest from Stoke City for Benik Afobe - who they have only just announced the permanent capture of.

Rafa Mir, who arrived in January, is the only other senior forward currently at Molineux, though they’ve also been linked with many continental attackers like Andre Silva of AC Milan since their title-winning campaign ended.

More season tickets released

Loyal Wolves fans are to be rewarded as Wolves announce their plans for season ticket sales.

A further 1,650 season tickets will be released to those fans that didn’t have one during the club’s Championship winning campaign, but that made the effort to attend games as the club stormed to the Championship title.

This comes following the news that 98% of existing season ticket holders have decided to renew.

Managing director Laurie Dalrymple said: “It is clear that the demand for a season ticket at Molineux is at an all-time high."

Molineux officials have decided to cap season ticket holders at 22,500 meaning that 10% of match day tickets will be available on a game-by-game basis.

The club have made the decision to stagger sales based on last year’s loyalty points, gained through purchasing of home and away match day tickets.

“Keeping our supporters at the forefront of our thinking, we have devised the fairest method of allocating the remaining 1,650 tickets to new season ticket holders," Dalrymple continued.

“Supporters should rightly be rewarded for their loyalty, and anyone who attended a significant amount of fixtures last year will be eligible to purchase a season ticket for our first season back in the Premier League.”

Season tickets will go on sale from Monday at 10am to supporters who have acquired more than 200 loyalty points. This will then work as a sliding scale, reducing by 10 points a day until the new tickets have been accounted for.

Adult season tickets will start at £486. Fans aged under-17 will be charged £150 and fans under-12s £69.

No to N'Diaye

The power for Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign Alfred N’Diaye on a permanent basis ahead of the new season won’t be exercised, according to reports in Spain.

N’Diaye made 37 appearances for Wolves last season, scoring against Barnsley, Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City as the club romped to the Championship title with a tally of 99 points.

The 28-year-old, who is off to the World Cup in Russia this month with his native Senegal, was one of six players Nuno Espirito Santo signed on a loan basis last summer to aid Wolves’ push up the table.

Willy Boly and Benik Afobe have both signed permanently, and there is a deal in place for Diogo Jota too.

Leo Bonatini and Ruben Vinagre are the other players who were brought in temporarily, but a decision also needed to be made over the future of N’Diaye.

The powerful Villarreal central midfielder was understood to be available for transfer for a fee in the region of €9m in the eventuality of Wolves being promoted to the top flight.

Should they not wish to push through the option to buy, the would have to pay a ‘penalty fee’ in the region of €2.5m.

N’Diaye, who has previously had spells in England with Sunderland and Hull, has a clouded future at Villarreal, who will ironically pitch up at Molineux in the coming weeks for a pre-season friendly.

He wasn’t able to dislodge Nuno’s preferred midfield pairing of Ruben Neves and Romain Saiss for the most part of the season - 20 of his 33 appearances in the Championship came from the bench.

And so Wolves are planning on looking elsewhere for midfield cover, reports AS , which has left N’Diaye with a summer of uncertainty.
